And sure they (v8's) are going to eat more gas but that's what happens when you have h.p. and torque.
because everyone in the world has a honda (even me), and when someone says 'import' it immediately means honda. as we all know this board has a very high number of honda driving members.
unfortunately it seems the person you were quoting perpetuates the stereotype to which others must suffer.
yes v8's eat more gas, but typically they have 2 to 4 times the displacement of any 4 cylinder, and fire twice as often. they should make more power, and they always will make more power. i got a big laugh out of it when i found out my 440cc injectors were like 42lbs, and the mustang guys at the body shop dropped their jaws.
